Hdme, addressed to the stockholders of the Atlanta Gas Compa ny which appears in our paper this morning.— With an energy for which that gentleman is distinguished, wherever he has contracted to furnish G.is for a city, he has pushed forward the Gas Works of Atlanta far beyand the ex jicctiilioiis of many of our citizens, and will be prepared to light our city by Cbrirtmas eve We trust that tlieiv will be u prompt response on the part of the Stockholders to his call on tomorrow, and that no impediment will inter vene to delay for a day the completion of the Works. Down Marietta street the pipe is be* ing laid, and in a short time it will be down iu all our ptimipul streets. The buildings be ing erected will soon be covered, and Atlanta in 1856 will not be behind any city in the South, so far as lights are concerned. To Mr. Helme the city is greatly indebted for the improve nent which we look forward to with so much deasure and pride.

It is stated in the AVashington Union that “nothing is more certain than that M illiam H. Saward is the great presiding genius of black republicanism.” We have no doubt of the truth of this statement, and the people of tire South should look well to it. From all ac counts it appears that the black banner of this falsely styled “Republican Party” now waves iu triumph over Ohio, and that its success there will rally the enemies of the South, East, \\ est, and North, to its support. Seward will lead in the North ; Wilson, in the East; and Chase in the West I What a glorious trio 1 But let us take a bird's eye view of the develop ments made in reference to black republican ism, and see what it is, and must be, if success-: tul. We shall do this, by selecting from tire ' speech of that notorious abolition Senator from Alassaehusetts, delivered in New York, on the occasion, recently, of the inauguration of the -Republican” party there. They are all to the point—no dodging, or blinking the question. In the prelude to his (Wilson’s) speech, he says, “You,” the Republican Party, “have no war upon the South.” Very good, “no war up on the South!” but “you are here to dethrone American slavery, and to enthrone American liberty in the Government!” This is the start ing point, and how is the war to be carried on? Hear him! “Let it be understood that within the terri tories of the United States we intend to pro hibit forever the existence of human slavery. [Loud cheering.] Let it be understood by the country precisely and exactly what we mean. We mean to restore freedom to Kansas. [lm mense and long-continued cheering.] We mean that Kansas shall never come into this Umoii as a Slave State. No, never. (Cheers and cries of •Bravo. ) We mean to restore freedom to Nebraska clear up to the boundaries of the British Queen. (Applause.) We mean that Nebraska shall come into the Union a tree State with a free Constitution. (Continued applause.) We tell Atchison, Stringfellow, and other border ruffians, that they may violate law, honor, everything, but that Kansas comes Into this Union clothed in the garments of lib erty. (Renewed applause.) We mean that Utah, if she comes into this Union ever, shah come iuto this Union a free Commonwealth. We mean New Mexico, Minnesota, Washing ton, Oregon, every foot of the Territories ot this Republic, shall be consecrated forever to fiwdom and free institutions for all men, and chain and letters for none. (Loud cheers.) There is no mistaking language like the fore going. We told our readers during the late canvass, thut war upon Slavery iu the Ternto l ies were the watchwords of the enemies of the South, in the East, West, and North, and that the South must prepare to meet them on that issue. Now that it is so authoritatively announc ed ; now that it is proclaimed on the bouse tops; now that William H. Seward leads iu the chase *, who will doubt the fact, or refuse to take warnin gin time: Again— ••Every generous pulse of the human heart is with us—every affection of thuhuman conscience is with us; the great hopes of the human race are all with us, and we shall tnumpli in the end, we sha I overthrow the slave power o the re nublic; we shall enthrone freedom; shall abol ish slavery in the Territories, we shall sever the National government from all responsibility for •lavery, mid all connection with it; and then .reutle-ien, then, when we have put the nation 'm the words of Mr. Vun-Burem openly, actu allv, nd perpetually on tire sure ol freedom, we shall have men like Cassius M. (lay. (Loud applause.) We shall have generous, brave,gal lant men rise upon tire South, who will, m then own own time, in their own way, tor the inter est of the master and bondsmen, lay the fottnda liom of a policy of emancipation that shall give fr, edom to three and a hall millions of me” »' America. (Enthusiastic applause. I say, geuilemeii. these arc our objects, and tucse are our purposes ” Yes. "lay the foundations of a policy ot emauetputa'u that shall give freedom to three and n half millions of men in Amcric.” This is the object of black republicanism!—this its purpose! To carry out this "policy of emancipation, it will be necessary, it seems, to do what ? Why nothing more nor less than to control the Supreme Court of the United States, and in a wav every State Rights man in Georgia has long ere thu, we trust, more than dreamed of But let the orator, the champion of black re piiblicunism, speak for his party. - We shall change the Supreme Court of the United States, and place men in that court who believe with its pure und immaculate Chief Justice, John Jay, that Our prayerswill Ire impious to Heaven while we sustain aud support human slavery. W e shall free the Supreme Court of the United States from Judge Kane. (Loud applause,) And here let me say, that there is a public sentiment growing up in this country that regards Pass more Williamson in his prison—(tremendous applause)—iu his prison in Philadelphia, as a uiartyr to the holy cause of liberty. (Great applause.) There is a public sentiment spring ing that will brand upou the brow ol Judge Kane a mark that will make him exclaim, as iiis namesake, the elder Cain,-‘lt is too gieat lor me to bear.’ (Irettd applause.) , And it is into this devil’s league William H. Seward has gone! It is here that the South wiil henceforth have to look for her enemies, the toes of the Constitution. But where will lx- her friends ? To whom can she look for aid when the dark banner of black "Republican ism w aves, and its leaders sound the charge'? Can she look to the - American Party" in the Anti-slavery States with the least hope that a voice will be raised in her behalf? Upou the tongue of every honest man North or South, the emphatic NO! will be ready to respond to our query. It is alone to the Nebraska and Kansas D< mocracy of the Anti-slavery States, that the South can Icok for succor. In them, we have a gallant aily—a noble, fearless, ally— oue that has already responded to the South, aad will reepond so long as the South is true to herself. Alone, we bid defiance to our foes.— •To the hilt" we are armed for any conflict with -Black Republicanism,” andwithoural- Les and friends of the Anti-slavery States, we feel that in support of our domestic institutions, and the rights of the States, we arc prepared to meet "the world in arms." Another Letter in "Bad Taste." We present our readers to-day, w ith another ettcr written —os the Chronicle A Sentinel term d that of lhe Hou. Henry A. Wise—in -bad taste!" It is the letter of the Hou. Ste [ibcu A. Douglas, written in reply to the invi tation from the Boston Aidi-slarery committee., who had invited him to lecture there on a day to le looted by himself, on the subject of sla- ■ very. Ti e reward for this service, as in the •ase cf Mr. V>’:s.-..q be one hundred ai. i iity dollars. Tins, no doubt, would have proved a handsome speciation 1.-r tht abolition > incendiaries. VYer<- Douglas and Wise, for in stance, to lecture in Buslvii on to exciting a. si;Teet as th., Sotitc-.ru Instituted v. slavcrv. there is no talrenmcie in tliat city that eoald mitauce, and there would be a clear gain of sev eral thousand dollars which would, at once. b. sunk into some abolition treasury to be used tbr the base purposes of subverting the Constitu tion of the country, and promoting insubordina tion and insurrection among the slaves of the South. But Douglas aud Wise were not to be caught in such a trap. They had the sagacitx to see through the game that was playing, m the patriotism to repel the advance made to se - duce them into a service so repugnant to even, true friend of tire Constitution and the South. In Wise's reply there was no mealy-mouil ■•. expression, nor courteous words. Nor in Doug las's, will there be found any "dodging ot t;.e issue.” He says that neither his -tastes” not uis public duties will permit him to accept tae invitation addressed to him ; and tbroughoi t his brief response he talks like a true man.— But let the reader judge for himself! Here is the letter. Senator Douglas on Slavery. Chicago, Sept. 11,1855. Gentlemen ■■— l have the honor to acknowl edge the receipt of your polite invitation to d. liver a lecture <>n the subject of slavery at tire Tremomt Temple, iu Boston, on the 7th of Feb i-uary next, or at such time during the next winter as my convenience will permit. Regar ding slavery us a domestic regulation, wi,le. derives its existence and support from tire L ea aws of the several States where it prevails, and neither t e Federal Government "or the citizens or authorities of other States have any right t. interfere, except to perform their constitutional obligations in reference to the rendition of li. gitive slaves. I have never deemed it my det as to a citizen of a non slaveholding State, disenss the proposed advantages <>r evils; v. t the view of sustaining or destroying thed u, tic i istitutions of sister States, with which, m der the constitution and laws of the land. 1 5 no right to interfere, and fur tire consequent of which, I am in no wise resp. nsible. You will, therefore, permit me-to say, v ii, all due respect, tint neither my tastes nor ni< public duties will permit me to accept yum ; lite invitation. I have the honor to be, very respect!re'y vonr obedient servant, S. A. DOUGLAS. Messrs. Dr. J. W. Stone, and others, eon mittee. (From the Augusta Constitutionalist.) Complimentary Presentation. A portion of the citizens of Oglethorpe coun ty, convened at Lexington, on the 18th inst.. for the purpose of offering their congratulations to the Hou. A. H. Stephens, upon his recent triumphant re-election to Congress, and to pre sent to the distinguished gentleman, a hand some gold-mouuted Rosewood walking Stick. Mr. George T. Landrum was deputed by the citizens to make the presentation to Mr. Ste phens, which he performed in very appropriate and complinmetary terms. The speaker very beautifully referred to the engraving on the Cane: “To the Hon. A. H. Stephens, from the cit izens of Oglethorpe county. Ga.* “Speech at Lexington, Sept. 22, 1855.” “Triumph of the Constitution in Georgia, Oct. 1855.” “Kansas-Nebraska Act, May 30, 1851." “Reply to Campbell, Isth January, 1855. ’ Mr. Landrum concluded his remarks, by sta ting that the testimonial now tendered was bin a feeble expression of the favorable regard i termined by the citizens of Oglethorpe county, towards Mr. Stephens. Mr. Stephens, on receiving the Cane, statul that he not only accepted the highly prized {’i v sent, but would preserve it as u cherished tne morinl of the esteem and regard of his Li. w citizens of Oglethorpe. He referred to the va rious inscriptions on the Cane, and particularly to the !‘Triumph of the Constitution in Geoigia. Oct. 1,1855.” 11 was, he Said, empnatieai.y the triumph of civil, as well as religious liberi.'. lie alluded to Oglethorpe as die founder of :,a colony of Georgia, and the great pleasure it ai forded him to see that the people ol the county that bore his name, were so firm in their main tainance of the great principles ot true Ameri canism that the early settlers of Georgia hi d tablish' d. He also alluded to the incmor coincidence, that the people of Carroll.uc,. in y that b irc the name of the memorable t : Carroll, a Catholic, had so signally inaiutaiu . iu the late contest, the principles of R -ig .ii- Liberty. Carroll county gave over twelve :uu,- dred votes against the Know Nothing print pie of Religious proscription. Carroll, in- be lieved, was the Banner county. He remarked, good humoredly, that it was no tiine to discuss principles anew. The contest was'ver, the Constitution had triumphed, aial lie hoped never to see a similar contest re newed. He wanted to see the people of-Georgia "uni ted as one people mid one party." Mr. S.. re ferred at some length, in appropriate and bn- i mo ous language to some of the ineidei.ls o. I the late campaign, and concluded witii many j I thanks, not only lor the present teudere hinu n 1 ' that occasion, but for the renewed confidenc< wliieh tin people of Oglethuqre Lad giv, ii ir.r> by his flattering and increased majorities in that county.

These lei uie laths lire but confined to lhe vicinity of the river, but extend, to my own knowledge, south thirty mites, und Horn others I learn they continue one hundred miles, or more ; uud North oi the river, ior two nuu ored miles west of the State of Missouri. As ,ur North as Nebraska and Finite rivers, the country is all as rich and inviting as those lauds .ymg south of Kansas river, but they are uol so well timbered. One hundred miles west, umber is scarce, and at the distance of two bandied is very scarce. It is prairie laud in every direction, but on all the rivers, creeks aud branches, there is ample timoer, in most ot it, for agricultural purposes. VVuen 1 say this whole country is rich, 1 am aware many will not appreciate the meaning ot this common expression, us applicable to the extent ol its tertility. The soil all over the limits 1 have mentioned, will average 3 1-2 feel oi the most productive lime soil. It will pro duce 50 bushels el corn, or 20 bushels of wheat; aim such of it as is adapted to the culture, oue thousand pounds of hemp to the acre.

Tliat iliere are objections and dteadvautugi pertaining to this country, as well as to all otl cis I have ever seen, is not disputed. Thcgi'ii test, if not the only material obj< lieu to Kui. .-•as, is its scarcity of timber, uiid especially t< those accustomed to looking upon the heavy and abundant forests of the freshly settled pm tious of Georgia and other Southern States This objection is applicable mostly, however, to the high praries, remote from water courses where the timber is to be found. On first aji pearance this barreness of timber is most sensi bly objected to and felt. A slight acquaintance with the country rendersit of less importance. The substitutes for timber to a great degree re moves the obstacle. The Osage Orange there, an effectual, cheap and quickly growi hedge. Rock is found in quarries, sufficiei.t -y abundant, though not scattered over the com • try to interfere with cultivation, and is a d> i ble substitute for timber, and is much more 1 d> sired and valued by settlers. The building ■ rock fences by those experienced in it, is regu: ded as an inconsiderable undertaking, and is n> esteemed so tedious or determg, as by thoke tiseu to fencing with timber. It is estimated by some there, that two hands will quarry am build of rock as much fence as can be done by one hand of timber in the same length of tim< The rock fence, when constructed, is durable requiring no renewal. Wood for fire, is ample at present, and i creusra in proportion, as it is protected from ■ prarie fires; but, if it should tail, stow con alnibdant, answering all the purpi sts for i. in an agricultural point oi view Kansas,l 1 t no hesitancy in stating, proposes iidvani: and inducements greater than any country <>l the Mississippi such as to make it the . i vst of every one desirons of moving West, sei k a home there. The Southern farmer, vi iiis slaves, cannot move to tuiy country ulio’ . ing better advantage s, or greater ] r< sptds wealth, health and happiness.

These objects are, of themselves sufficient, influence southern men disposed to emigrate, go to Kansas, but southern men have in institution of slavery a vital and all inipor. ’ interest to be sustained und secured in reniter. aid and encouragement toward the seltkn.i. >f tliat Territory by southerners. This instni lien, involving a constitutional right, held e dear, and esteemed so inviolable at the so’ii has been the object us repeated and unecus i. assault from the Abolitionists.
